Fin-tastic performance from Grimsby
I thought it was only Sam Matterface with his (prepared) puns. Fishy defending and Blunder Park so far.

He doesn't know his geography well though, reckoning Grimsby fans were singing 'are you Stockport in disguise' ...Scunthorpe.

No he’s correct. Stockport are a League One Manchester club.

Absolutely no chance
I don't know man. Is it something like a win ratio of 24%.

21.48 Brugges 8 (eight) Rangers 0
With an XG of 3.5 which makes no fucking sense.

Well Jimbo likes to get rid of tea ladies early, so why not?

For exactly that reason - they’ve hitched their wagon to Amorim it’ll need to continue for longer for them to do anything.

The places they have shot from shouldn't have lead to goals, but they have because Rangers have been shit.

I don't want to take the piss out of Manure as they have been in this situation in alot of recent cup games and get the rub towards the end.

Club Brugges slamming Rangers without Ordonez…he’d be a handy right sided defender for someone….anyone know anyone needing a right sided defender who can play centre half / right back?

Was he the Colombian centre half? I thought he was excellent, notably in the first game where had had Watkins in his pocket all night.

Ecuador I think - he was outstanding

He really was. Had strength and pace

Brugge's new home kit is quite nice, as a slight twist on their traditional stripes. It also looks decent quality for Castore.

Just do it…you know there’s a dodgy penalty and 10 minutes injury time to sway it their way so make hay before it starts
